The world is a strange and dangerous place in 2020. Events in the preternatural communities from two years ago still have those in the know reeling, struggling to recover and waiting on the other shoe to drop; though no one seems quite sure what that will entail. Yet even with all the uncertainty there are several incidences that have come to pass that almost everyone has at least heard of.
- Xaviar, Justicar of the Gangrel, left the Camarilla, taking the Gangrel with him.
- Jonas Albrecht led a crusade against the Seventh Generation, the Wyrm Cult based in New York, crushing its leadership.
- The Shadow Curtain around Eastern Europe has collapsed.
- In the first week of June, sensitives around the world suffered horrific and prophetic nightmares. The period has become known as the Week of Nightmares.
- The Sabbat laid siege to Atlanta. Starting with the city's Elysium (the High Museum of Art) which is rumored to have been attacked by a mighty joint force of Lasombra legionnaires and Tzimisce war ghouls. Most of the elders of Atlanta have thought to have been destroyed during the surprise attack - including archon Julius of the Brujah clan. It proved to be the first strike in a massive Sabbat offensive against the Camarilla domains in North America
- Horizon realms of Mages in the Umbra begin to become more disparate from reality, some losing their connection completely, others being attacked.
- The Red Star, a mysterious heavenly body, appeared on July 15, 2018.
- The Sixth Great Maelstrom and the Avatar Storm, a huge influx of spirit energy, has coalesced within the Gauntlet. Its rumored effects can be seen – and sometimes felt – throughout the Umbra. (Details of Storm effects IC can be found under mage rules)
